hubstaff.com website review

Your mobile performance score is 84. Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.

126 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (375 KiB).

The page has 2,722 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.

imagedelivery.net costs a phone 0 ms of main-thread work and 498 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

4 third-party services load with your homepage (7seasky.com, Cloudflare and Google Tag Manager and others), adding 569 KiB and 163 ms of main-thread time.

About 180 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.

About 171 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page.

1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 63 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

Polyfills for old browsers add 10 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.

Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Real Chrome users on phones do not pass Google's Core Web Vitals on this page (28-day field data from the Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab)). Google uses this in ranking.

The layout shifts by 0.309 while loading, so content jumps under the reader's thumb. Good is under 0.1.

The page becomes fully interactive after 7.5 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

Real visitors wait 285 ms for the page to respond to a tap (75th percentile). Good is under 200 ms.

For real visitors the layout shifts by 0.21 (75th percentile). Good is under 0.1.

Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-24, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 236 ms to 327 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.39 g of CO₂e: 46.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Delayed refresh under 20 hours must not be used: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated critical by axe-core.

44 images have no alt text, which hurts accessibility and image search.

[role]s are not contained by their required parent element (4 elements).

Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children. (2 elements).

Some list items are not inside a list.

2 elements hidden from screen readers can still receive keyboard focus.

Some lists contain elements other than list items, which screen readers announce wrongly.

Headings skip levels (h3 → h5, h3 → h5 and h3 → h5), which makes the page harder to scan with a screen reader.

Structured data found (Organization) but with 1 problem, for example “ld+json block 1 is not valid JSON (Expected double-quoted property name in JSON at position 163)”.

The homepage links to 285 pages on hubstaff.com and 17 external pages.

There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

/employee-time-tracking declares the homepage as its canonical URL, which tells Google it is a copy of the homepage and keeps it out of search results. A site-wide template setting usually causes this.

We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 105 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

1 image failed to load on a phone, for example https://hubstaff.com/favicon.ico.

3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()”.

1 image is displayed at the wrong aspect ratio, so it looks stretched or squashed.

Large scripts ship without source maps.

1 link go through two or more redirects, for example https://app.hubstaff.com/login.

No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.

X-XSS-Protection is set to “1; mode=block”; the header is deprecated and can introduce bugs. Use 0 or remove it.

On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

The homepage has only about 37 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.

The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.

No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

Loading the homepage contacts 2 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
